Chapter 5457 The Main Culprit

At this moment, an elder walked forward. He was tall and muscular, with fiery red hair that seemed to blaze with its own heat. His resonant and commanding voice rang out like a great bell across the air.

Though he withheld his aura, the sheer intensity of his presence caused the surrounding space to ripple and twist, exuding a suffocating heat.

From behind the elder, Long Chen spotted Chi Yunxiao within the scarlet dragon camp. He instantly identified the elder as the leader of the scarlet dragon race.

The scarlet dragon race leader said, “The arrival of the human youngsters has thrown the Dragon Domain into utter chaos, and we cannot continue as is. Is the Dragon Domain supposed to keep fighting until it finally collapses and cannot recover? My only fear is that your death will be truly miserable. When that time comes, none of us will be able to safeguard what we hold dear. The only ones who will benefit are the outsiders.”

Countless dragon experts nodded at his words. Their Dragon Domain had been walking the path of decline after so many years of in-fighting.

Although the Dragon Domain was still chaotic, there was a precarious balance that was being maintained. If the balance were shattered, it would trigger a blood-soaked battle that the Dragon Domain might never recover from.

Mo Ying smiled slightly at the scarlet dragon race leader; everything was within her expectations. Not saying anything, she kept watching.

“Hold it. I endured your insults at first, but you just said that we had thrown the Dragon Domain into chaos? Fuck, you really are shameless. Do you even have the face to say such a thing?” demanded Long Chen.

Long Chen was definitely not being polite, but it was also a fact that the Dragon Domain’s chaos had nothing to do with him. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

How many tens of thousands of years had passed with them in this state? How did they end up blaming him for it?

The scarlet dragon race leader bristled with anger at Long Chen’s impudent questioning. As a leader of one of the eight major factions, he commanded immense respect and authority. Even the other faction leaders treated him with basic deference, let alone a junior like Long Chen.

After forcibly suppressing his anger, he said, “Perhaps I misspoke earlier. The Dragon Domain has indeed been in chaos for a long time. But since the arrival of your human race, that chaos has intensified. That is an undeniable fact.”

“That’s your problem, not ours,” Long Chen shot back without hesitation. “We crossed the Endless Desolation to reach the Heaven Essence World. By your logic, the moment we arrived, we became the cause of all the chaos in the Heaven Essence World too? Ridiculous.”

“You… you’re twisting my words!” said the scarlet dragon race leader angrily.

Long Chen mocked, “Twisting your words? Those are your words. When did the mighty dragon race start playing dumb and blaming others for their failures? And coming from a race leader, no less? How pathetic. No wonder the junior generation of the dragon race has arrogance in their demeanor but none in their bones. They’ve clearly learned that from you old fossils—cowardly, spineless, and completely lacking any sense of responsibility. The dragon race has declined to this state because of leaders like you”

“Shut your mouth!” the scarlet dragon race leader roared, his voice like a thunderous tsunami exploding in people’s ears.

“Oh, so now you’re going to rely on your big throat? If a loud voice were a measure of strength, donkeys would have long since taken over the world,” mocked Long Chen.

He wasn’t just being provocative. Long Chen knew he held an unmatched trump card. With the primal chaos Dragon Sovereign’s backing, no one here could challenge him. If he chose to act, they would fall.

“You…” the scarlet dragon race leader muttered, gritting his teeth furiously.

His hair stood on end like prickly needles, and his fists creaked as they clenched, trembling with seething rage.

“What, you want to bite me now? Did I say anything wrong?” Long Chen taunted. “The Dragon Domain’s state is the result of every dragon here having a hand in it. But the ones most responsible are the leaders like you. Your failure to manage the chaos has led to countless bodies littering the wilderness. You let them rot while the Dragon Domain tears itself apart. Instead of stopping the infighting, you allow it to fester, grinding away at your own people’s strength. While your race decays, you’ve done nothing to change it, and yet you still have the gall to roar at me. Who gave you the right?”

By the end of his words, Long Chen was furious. His dragon blood power erupted, and a wave of dragon might surged outward with his voice. The intensity of his roar carried through the air, reverberating long after it had faded.

The scarlet dragon race leader had been seething with fury, but this roar shook his soul. The ancient, majestic power behind it was overwhelming—like the cry of an ancient sovereign.

From top to bottom, everyone in the Dragon Domain was shaken by this roar, and a sense of shame automatically flowed out of them.

As dragons, who among them didn’t yearn for the unification of the Dragon Domain? But none of them had the power to change its fate. They could only watch as the Dragon Domain descended further into chaos, a situation that left them feeling conflicted and sick at heart. Their helplessness felt worse than death itself.

Yet, despite their inner turmoil, they kept their silence, too embarrassed to speak. Now, Long Chen had exposed their deepest shame, and not a single one of them dared to respond.

Even the scarlet dragon race leader, who had been brimming with anger moments ago, found himself unable to meet Long Chen’s gaze. His silence was an admission of defeat.

Mo Ying, Xie Qianzhong, and the other race leaders wore complex expressions. Long Chen had laid bare a truth they could not deny. What could they do about it? This was a problem that had festered within the Dragon Domain for countless years. Unless the sovereign dragon race made its return, there was no hope of fixing it.

And even if the sovereign dragon race did return, their power might not be enough to subdue the fractured factions that had long since freed themselves from the restraint. The Dragon Domain was beyond saving—at least, not without a monumental shift in power.

“No matter how you spin it, this is a matter for the dragon race to resolve. The human race has no place in this.” Ying Changkong sneered, breaking the uncomfortable silence.

Long Chen directly pointed and cursed, “Traitor of the Dragon Domain, shut your mouth. You are the main culprit of the Dragon Domain’s chaos!”

Mo Ying, Xie Qianzhong, and the other race leaders all turned to look at Ying Changkong.
